I love the NHC in my M818 only downfall I see is the 3 to 5 MPG on the hi way. My M54 LTS 465 is awesome on MPG and love the whisler turbo but I worry about how many miles it has left in it. I am also not a fan of the sprag, one glitch in the actuator and its toast
Wondering what the differences are between the models and what if any benefits one has over another. Are there any parts that can be used for upgrades from one model to another. I have done some research and haven't found all the info in one place. I think this would also be useful when looking...

Iv been messing around with an airbrush pump I had laying around to pressurise my axles. I had already run extended lines up to to firewall and seemed a low budget way to go, very adjustable low psi. I had already done all the seals, boots, bearings.... but was still getting water in my axles as...
I use cheap HF colored zip ties when I have a bunch of hoses but only 1 on shift cylinder.
I feel like a spring is not doing its job somewhere. It always wants to engage. When testing I can turn the Tcase front drive shaft flange a little few clicks and it drops rite in in neutral and forward...
